Found Blues Berry, an organization that stages real, live, honest-to-their-god BLUES performers throughout the Berry Region of France! No kidding! And we went to our first event the Blues Berry Festival last Saturday at Ambrault about a 15 minute drive from Lignieres! What a scene, big field, built up stage with pro lighting, great sound system and seating 50 feet from the stage...cost? FREE! At first we were among the very few as the weather closed in on us promising rain, cold wind and darkness, maybe even lightning! Empty stage was soon filled with a band rehearsing their performance and while frustrating to hear all the adjustments, bleats, strums and pops it promised a show to believe in! Soon the crowd started to gather, we were among the earliest at 5pm and by 6 there were about 100 on the field wandering among the dealers of clothing and ceramics, food etc. Music started about 6 and never stopped until we left at about 9:30 to drive home happy and awed by the lavender hue
